August 26

On the west side of the city

in a rundown two room flat

sittin' by her window

with a baby in her lap

She stares out of the window

at this city that she hates

and wonders what she ever did

to deserve this fate.

But the man who said he loved her,

well you know, he's been long gone

and she aint seen nor heard from him

since before this child was born.

//////

Deep within her mind she knows

she has no place for him

but deep within her heart she wonders

if she'll ever love again

But the autumn rain is fallin'

and tomorrow will bring snow

and those pretty leaves lie rustin'

in the gutter of her soul.

//////

There's no money left to buy the heat

no food upon the shelf

and she watches as the child sleeps

and cries to herself

" Oh child, oh child, oh child of mine

do not fear this thing

for tonight will bring a stranger's voice

and another nightmare dream"

"Oh child, oh child, oh child I pray

do not be my judge

for this thing that I must do tonight

I do for you, my love"

/////

On the west side of the city

in a rundown two room flat

starin' out the window

as the daylight turns to black

And she watches as the cars below

start circle'n'' the street

like the vultures that are circlin'

waitin' for that last heartbeat!

/////

"Oh child, oh child, oh child I pray

do not be my judge

for this thing that I must do tonight

I do for you, my love"
